  • Tesla Model 3 online

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Sat Mar 2 07:34:37 2019

    The Tesla model 3s are apparently available for order. An interesting car for $35K, although one thing that irked me was that the web site shows a price that includes "fuel savings" and "tax benefits".

    That's not how cash works.

    Getting a car for $50K with 2 engines gets you 4-wheel drive, and one benefit I'd not thought of - a backup engine, since the car can run independently on either engine.

    Tesla is also closing down most of their showrooms. You'll order online, it sounds like you pay $2500 down, then they deliver the car, and you get 7 days and/or 1000 miles to test, and hopefully they come pick it up if you choose not to keep it.

    I'm a horrible driver, however the advantage of hirng me to drive is
    #1 ALL illegal immmigrants would be buying car insurance.
    #2 Bodyshop workers would have guaranteed job insurance
    #3 I would make sure I rock a lot of House/Trance/Bass music :D
    #4 "Quality&Assurance"
    #5 However I want something which would go great with some Texas
    Swangas (I would also rock a lot of DJ Screw mix-tapes )
